2018 (68) VW Caddy Maxi Life 1.4 TSi Petrol  Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV)

Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life WAV Overview

This 2018 (68) Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life 1.4 TSI Petrol Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) is a rare petrol example, offering a smooth, quiet driving experience.

A key advantage of this vehicle is its fold-flat rear ramp design, which allows the rear area to be used as a normal boot space when not carrying a wheelchair passenger. This makes it an ideal choice for buyers who need flexibility using the vehicle as a wheelchair accessible car when required, but also as a practical everyday vehicle.

With very few petrol WAVs available on the market, this is an excellent option for those wanting comfort, versatility, and ease of use in one vehicle.

Available from Michael Harraway Cars in Weston-super-Mare, we supply customers across Bristol, Bath, Somerset, Devon, and the wider South West, with local delivery available.

Practical Benefits of This Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle

The Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life is one of the UK’s most popular WAVs, offering an excellent balance of size, comfort, and everyday usability.

Combined with the smooth and refined petrol engine, it is especially well suited to short journeys, local driving, and day-to-day use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a fold-flat ramp and how does it work?

The rear ramp folds flat into the floor when not in use, creating a level boot space. This allows the vehicle to be used like a normal car when you’re not carrying a wheelchair passenger.
